I'm not sure I completely understand your setup - but I believe the way to achieve what I believe you are looking for - is to do something like: Extract the dependencies from the DCRs (and other files?)Set them as EAs on the filesDeploy the files from Server-A to Server-B with EA transfer enabled (I'm assuming both servers are TS servers)Extract EA from files and use DependencyManagement code to set the relationships up on the new serverPersonally, I'd probably try to find a better way of handling the requirement behind the "requirement" - but I think something like the above would work.
